A member asked:

My gfr is 30 and my tyres is 23. does this mean i'm not going to live? i am 72 years old?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A GFR or 30 indicates kidney disease but is compatible with living and does not require dialysis. You should consult a nephrologist to see what can be done to preserve your kidney function.
